Tristan's Gap:

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

She thought they had the perfect family…

For eighteen years Serena Soltanis has poured herself into her family, making every effort to please her husband and to protect her daughters from the evils of the world. Respected and admired for her obvious parenting success, she leads a popular mothers group at her church, passing along wisdom gained through years of experience.

until she woke up in a mothers worst nightmare.

Then the unthinkable happens. Sixteen-year-old Tristan, the quiet “good girl” of the family, disappears-and the search brings to light unpleasant truths that prompt Serena to question nearly everything she believes about her children, her marriage, and her faith.

“Where did we go wrong?”

Brokenhearted by her daughters behavior and her husbands angry response, Serena struggles to see Gods hand of grace in their lives. Initially determined to rescue Tristan from whatever trouble shes in, Serena learns the painful lesson that true strength wont be found in regaining control of her daughters choices but in finally learning when to let go.

This book touched me in a way no book has in a long time. The mother in this book thought she had it all together, just to find out that one thing can change everything. I saw myself in the mother and the daughter, and even think it explained to me some stuff I went through as a teen at home with my parent's.
